1:01:01
Because there's no name
for what we share.
1:01:05
I looked after you for seven years.
1:01:07
A long time.
1:01:11
But it's over.
1:01:14
I'll tell you what bothers me.
1:01:16
Firstly, you're an introverted little boy.
Secretive, say.
1:01:21
But that's not a failing,
it's a quality.
1:01:23
As a boy, I couldn't manage to speak
1:01:26
so I used to stammer.
1:01:28
- Is that true?
- Yes, it is.
1:01:30
As for you,
you're just a little reserved.
1:01:33
In return,
life has given you a rich soul.
1:01:35
That way, when you feel lonely,
1:01:37
you can retreat to your inner garden
1:01:40
to chat with your imagination.
1:01:42
I remember your poems in primary school
and you're a true poet.
1:01:47
But I can imagine
it's not always pleasant for you.
1:01:51
A secret treasure is a good thing
but it mustn't become a burden.
1:01:56
If it does, I see you
locked up in your thoughts,
1:01:59
that hurts me and I want to free you.
1:02:03
And I wonder what fear or anger
makes you flee the world.
1:02:07
...In my own way,
I'm fairly introverted too.
1:02:11
And, being introverted, I thought
1:02:13
that I could give you
some advice for school.
1:02:16
Really? What?
1:02:19
Well, solitude is a big problem.
1:02:22
And there's no easy way
around a problem like that.
1:02:25
Many characters are introverted.
1:02:28
There's Batman.
You often remind me of him.
1:02:31
The same grim look and love of secrecy,
1:02:34
the same fear
that turns into great bravery.
1:02:37
There's Peter Pan,
playing with the Lost Boys.
1:02:41
There's the Baron in the Trees,
a great book.
1:02:44
I love the Baron because he reminds me
of my tree in Roubaix.
1:02:48
- Do you remember?
- Yes, the tree in Roubaix!
1:02:51
There are other introverted characters
in books or real life
1:02:55
but that's proof enough that you and I
1:02:58
aren't the only two on the wary side.
